Resurfacing amid big life swirls. How's the #creative journey?

I'm relocating to the #UpperValley of #WesternMass! Landing me in #Greenfield / #TurnerFalls.

Here's to #LivingAdventurously and to keeping an #OpenHeart in #TurbulentTimes. Plus sweet sojourns to the #art haven of #MASSMoCA!

#Creativity is a choice! Keep on, fellow #creatives -- #artists, #poets, #performers 💜.

Hope

Amidst all the ugliness & hate & horror….there are people in this world that help all they encounter to realize there is good in the world, they show that people can be much much more….& they inspire us to try to become the better version of ourselves. Open your heart & eyes, they are all around us.

Being #creative is a choice.

Yep.

Expanded silver gouache from lower background to all the background. Also drew a large owl in the left upper segment. Donuts along bottom portion. Owlets sitting along a branch in the middle and at the edge of a tree hole.

This stage shows the painted frame: a thorny vine (brown), sparsely leafed (green). This is a 3rd piece in a whimsy series featuring owls, donuts, & trees.

Small #strides in #creative life, apace with full-time #caregiving. Current #whimsy piece: graphite (drawing), watercolor pencils (mostly used), & gouache (least used). Steps detailed in ALT text.

#BskyArt. #MixedMedia on #Paper.

#Art for everyone 💯❤️

#SoberSky.

Last week's travel for my #LiveIn parent fared well. Only select moments felt #MidwestGothic, as certain family maintains certain cycles.

#Grateful for #recovery "away" from #trauma reactions, & for #sobriety with mindful responses to difficult dynamics.

Here's to #living & #overcoming. ✨

You don't have to explain yourself or say you're sorry that you can't do something. You can simply say “no.”

#Art is life.

Traveling in the #Midwest (#Ohio) of #USA. My mom turns 76 tomorrow, & exceptionally will spend it with her grandkids. She's rocking her #walker & faring well despite late-day challenges. Everyday victories for #PLWD / #PeopleLivingWithDementia & #caregivers = humans #BeingHumans.

I like your stuff.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Success & safety to joiners for #April19, continuation of #HandsOff!! 🙌🏽🤞🏽🙏🏽🌟

My way, it's a weekend of #ElderCare with travel. Time for an MRI "round two" with ongoing #assessment. Seemingly, pin the tail & spin the #dementia wheel.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.

Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Earliest stage with graphite drawing & some watercolor pencil.

Step 2 photo: with wetted watercolor pencil over graphite drawing, & some gouache (lower section, select donuts).

A 3rd piece in-progress from a new series of #whimsy featuring #Owls, #donuts, & #trees.

#MixedMedia. So far #WatercolorPencil, #gouache, & #graphite.

#Gratitude. #Joy. Inner #Beauty.

Goal is 50 quips, in this my year of #Age50. We've got a starter so far.

Some inspiration for celebration:

#recovery, #sobriety,

#art for living,

#faith #community,

#nature & the #cosmos.

Thank you Senator Van Hollen

I still am grateful, as of February I made it to #Age50 / #The50.

And I'd love for 50 #gratitudes , #joys, & "quips" of #InnerBeauty be shared/ generated here.

Fyi #SoberSky, #BskyArt, & #Quaker peeps.

Arrgghhh.

Still masking in 2025? Absolutely.
Because unlike “good vibes,” N95s actually filter viruses. A quick 🧵 on why I haven’t retired my mask (and neither should you)
